Women Philosophers on Economics, Technology, Environment, and Gender History - by Ruth Edith Hagengruber (Paperback)

About the Book

This volume presents a comprehensive philosophical analysis of the most pressing contemporary issues from women philosophers on economics, technology, environment and history of philosophy. It covers topics from European and non-European traditions

Book Synopsis

In times of current crisis, the voices of women are needed more than ever. The accumulation of war and environmental catastrophes teaches us that exploitation of people and nature through violent appropriation and enrichment for the sake of short-term self-interest exacts its price.

This book presents contributions on the currently most relevant and most urgent issues: reshaping the economy, environmental problems, technology and the re-reading of history from the non-western and western tradition. With an outlook into the problems of class, race and gender in its intersectional framing, the collection offers a unique overview of current research in these fields and contributes to the renewal and contemporary presentation of feminist thought from partly concrete perspectives with regard to factual issues.
